its an impressive gallery. realy liked the photos. but i would like to say once more for anyone who is looking to this gallery,istanbul and turkey istn't like that! that is a very narrow part of it. specially it is also not coming becouse of religion it is because of ignorantness.

Marcos, I may go to Istanbul in June, this gallery is more than an invitation, it's forcing my arm! ;-)

Pictures are good. As i understood idea was to show Istanbul with the eyes of foreigner. They see it like this and all ppl think that Istanbul is like this. May by mostly it is not wrong, but there are places where ppl look a lil' bit different. The way they act, way of their clothers, even the way they walk.. i mean Istiklal... Beyoglu .... Levent, Bebek, Etiler.

Even your photos only show very narrow parts of Istanbul (like that of Iran, Syria, etc.) and don't give any clue about ultra night life, luxury shopping places and fashionable places and people... Nice shots, keep it up.

Wonderful gallery, thanks for the walk through Istanbul seen with your eyes, I like the powerful and colorful compositions, I´ve never been there but it seems to be a beautiful place to visit, I enjoyed, regards, Rosemarie :o)

Congrats for the scenes captured and your talent. but I would like to add something. Why did you only take pictures of men with beards (like Iran or most Arabs) or women with scarfs. That's not Istanbul. That's not Turkey. The people you captured are only a part of it. Istanbul and Turkey are not like Iran, Malesia or middle-eastern Arab countries. There is a modern life going on with normal people looking "normal" like you.
Sorry for writing so long, but people around here should not get a wrong image of Turkey, Istanbul and Turkish citizens... Thanks...

Wow! Great cityscapers Marcos, the tilting of the shots adds a really neat feel. Nice interior shots as well. It has been about 40 years since I was last in Istanbul, the Mosques and the Grand Bazaar bring back good memories. V! Sherwood.
